Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11467 · Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, certificated in any category; except those on which Airbus Modification 11874 [reference Airbus Service Bulletin A310-27-2087 (for Model A300 series airplanes) or A300-27-6042 (for Model A300- 600 series airplanes), both dated October 2, 1998] has been accomplished.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the rudder trim switch in the flight compartment with a new switch having a longer shaft; modification of wiring in panel 408VU; and replacement of the rudder trim control knob with an improved new knob. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inadvertent and uncommanded rudder trim activation, which could result in yaw and roll excursions and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
